Analysis of seasonal effects on nutritive value of native forages in the southern Great Plains and its relationship to sampling method
Montgomery, Dagan (2022-05)The objective was to investigate forage value throughout the year using near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) while comparing sample types. Samples were collected from tallgrass native range pastures being grazed ... -
Effect of increasing ruminal propionate on feed intake and glucose metabolism in steers fed a finishing diet
Rathert, Abigail (2021-05)Two experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of increased propionate supply to steers fed a feedlot finishing diet on dry matter intake, feeding behavior, glucose clearance rate, insulin response and hepatic ... -
Effects of dietary fiber during gestation on sow reproductive performance
Paz Portal, Ximena Alejandra (2022-07)Although fiber in gestational diets has been reported to be beneficial, there are contradicting results, and to this day there is not a set recommendation on its use. In the first experiment, two levels of total dietary ... -
Effects of low protein diets on broilers' energy balance, cecal microbiota composition, plasma metabolomics, and oxidative stress during experimentally induced heat stress
Sutton, Julia LeeAnn (2021-07)Heat stress is a pressing challenge for livestock production. In 2013, the poultry industry alone lost $125-165 million due to heat stress-related death. The objective of Study 1 was to assess the effects of low protein ... -
Evaluation of animal sensors and technology in grazing environments
Jeffus, Jancy L. (2022-05)The object of the first experiments were to determine the effects of virtual fencing on cortisol concentrations and behavior of beef cattle. Mixed breed beef heifers and cows (n = 55 and 59, respectively; initial BW = 315 ... -
Maternal temperament and offspring disposition affect growth performance
Sims, Michael (2022-05)Cattle temperament has been described as the level of fearfulness toward humans or a novel environment. Cattle with an undesirable temperament may have increased aggression toward handlers, poor reproductive success, and ... -
Supplementation of dried distillers' grains cubes to cattle: Effects on forage intake and digestibility, grazing performance, and subsequent feedlot performance and carcass characteristics
Adams, Jordan (2021-12)Experiment 1 compared chemical composition and disappearance kinetics of loose and extruded dried distillers' grains (DDG), as well as evaluated DDG cube supplementation rate on DMI and digestibility for growing cattle ... -
Using whole cottonseed to replace dried distillers grains plus solubles and prairie hay in finishing cattle rations balanced for physically effective neutral detergent fiber
Schneid, Kasi N. (2022-07)Two experiments were conducted to determine the effects of replacing prairie hay and dried distillers grains plus solubles (DDGS) with whole cottonseed (WCS) in finishing diets balanced for physically effective neutral ... -
Utilization of cotton byproducts in cattle finishing diets: Impacts on performance, carcass traits, and ruminal degradability of diet components
Warner, Andrea (2020-05)Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the inclusion of cotton byproducts in feedlot finishing diets on the performance and carcass traits of steers and to evaluate the in situ ruminal degradability of the individual ...
